though the wikipedia doesnt tell the story on how it got its name... cause his wife said that it looked like a turkey drum stick
rushfan
wow. I just search wikipedia for "drunkstick": My miond is clearly focused on other things
lol
nikki_
I don't like it either, but I also don't like promoting something which is nothing but bad for you (but good for the makers' pockets...)
teleGUISE
chocolate is bad for you too
rushfan
My friends feel relaxed after a cigarrette
=\
nikki_
why?
catgroove
because! sheesh!
teleGUISE
why? i think it's obvious just like any product
nikki_
it's not horribly addictive, it doesn't cause cancer, and apparently there are some good things in plain chocolate
teleGUISE
chocolate can rot your teeth, it is not good for people with Diabetes
nikki_
those are stupid reasons.
flamingcow
i know lots of people with diabetes who eat chocolate
catgroove
so are 'zomg you might get cancer'
teleGUISE
it's refined it contains lots of refined sugar
flamingcow
use it to balance the other side
nikki_
you can clean your teeth, not eat too much, and people with diabetes can still eat it if they make sure they're using enough insulin.
teleGUISE
but if you drink in moderation its ok too.. so whats wrong with those ads?
oh cuz you dont drink!
nikki_ didn't comment on the alcohol ones.
catgroove
my mother has alot of pain, she has had a hard life, she doesn't have many things to enjoy, smokes once i na while makes her feel good, she startesd somking way back in the 60 working for the factory, before anyone know itr was dangerous
teleGUISE
you said you don't like promoting something which is nothing but bad for you (but good for the maker's pockets)
rushfan
has anybody here ever had water foul? Like duck?
nikki_
I was talking about smoking, tele
rushfan doesnt drink either
catgroove
and alcohol is WAY more dangerous than smoking
teleGUISE
ah... but to a smoker it is good thing
and im not arguing that smoking ads are good..
nikki_
just like any other drug, I guess.
flamingcow
rushfan: sure?
teleGUISE
im just saying they allow certain things but not others.. its all political crap
catgroove
anti.smokers drive me up the wall with their holier-thna-touh attitude.. they akt as if smokign is a deadly sin,m they autlawed it everwhere. now people who somoke cant even do it in their workplaces or at resturants
tele: ding!
next thing you know people won't even be able to smoke in their own damn homes!
rushfan
catgroove, my company got a big healthcare rate discount if we banned smoking on company grounds
so we took the fofer
nikki_
I wouldn't want to see ads for cocaine or cannabis on TV either
but they should be allowed its just the gov't has figured a way the public will accept and that they can profit from
rushfan
If you hate anti smokers
catgroove
because they're not, OMG its fucking tobacco
nikki_
they're all addictive, they're all bad for you, they all make the users feel good
catgroove
so?
teleGUISE
and choco isnt addicting
rushfan
I think cocaine should be legal
teleGUISE
you cant seem to stop :P
catgroove
maybe we should all get our buts out of the computer room and socialise, because guett this, sitting and chatting is addicitive and it gicves carpal tunnlel syndrome :p
nikki_
why is tobacco different then? just because it's still legal (even though cannabis is apparently not as bad for you as tobacco)?
inhouseuk used to smoke, but doesn't preach to those who choose to smoke
catgroove
go inhouse
good for you
nikki_ isn't preaching to people who choose to smoke.
yes you uare
nikki_
when?
catgroove
and it's seriously annoying
teleGUISE
now if you blow it in my face/house/car.. thats a different story
nikki_
all I said was that I don't think tobacco should be advertised on TV!
catgroove
teel: exactly. my mother would *never* do that
nikki_
how is that saying "I don't think anyone should smoke, you're all idiots!"?
catgroove srugha
catgroove shrugs
catgroove
you probably think my mother is an idiot for somking
smoking
teleGUISE
well neither should choco... i don;t like it, i don't need it, so i dont want to see it ;)
nikki_
no, I don't.
catgroove
hmmp
Shepard thinks some smokers are anti-smoker allergic, oversensitive and tend to exaggerate :P
